Hide cursor on UITextView - Swift

Question

I have an app that have user feedback feature. I have done the view as shown in the image. Feedback view that I made

• Message area is using UITextView.

What I want to do now is when user finished editing the textView, then they click other places such as the star rating or any area besides textview, it will hide the cursor on the textview but it will keep the written text at the same time.

Can anyone help me with this? Thank you.

Answer 1

You can make the tint color transparent to hide the cursor.

textView.tintColor = UIColor.clearColor()

In Swift 3:

textView.tintColor = UIColor.clear

Answer 2

Update for Swift 3.x:

textField.tintColor = .clear
